Purpose:

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of minimally invasive surgery for
atrial fibrillation.

Study summary:

Patients who are undergoing or who have undergone minimally invasive surgery for atrial
fibrillation will be followed prospectively. At 6 to 9 months, 1 and two years post surgery
follow-up subjects will receive a trans-telephonic monitor to wear for approximately 1
month, and will submit transmissions on a daily basis. Episodes of atrial fibrillation will
be documented during this time. The overall efficacy of the procedure will be assessed based
on the freedom from atrial fibrillation at the time of transtelephonic monitoring.
